Problem:

You are using the Japanese version of ColdFusion and Oracle 8/9 with NLS_Characterset JA16SJJS, and encounter CLOB corruption and data corruption.

Solution:

Set codepageoverride=MS932 in the JDBC URL.

Problem:

You are running ColdFusion on WebSphere 5.1 on IBM JVM 1.4.1 and encounter an “Unsupported keysize or algorithm parameters” exception.

Solution:

Install unlimited jurisdiction policy files, as follows:

1. Download and install Unrestricted JCE Policy files for IBM SDK 1.4 from https://www6.software.ibm.com/dl/jcesdk/jcesdk-p.

2. Unzip the file.

3. Copy files unzipped from this link to the jre/lib/security directory.

4. Restart WebSphere.

Problem:

You add a virtual mapping resource path of /* which does not work.

Solution:

Do not map any directories to wildcard resource paths that contain WEB-INF as a virtual mapping. In ColdFusion MX 6.1, the fact that this worked was a side-effect of the particular way the classloader was configured. For ColdFusion MX 7 and later, the classloader is consistent across all editions; the ColdFusion classloader is no longer blended with the application server’s classloader. This change was made to ensure that ColdFusion MX 7 worked consistently in stand-alone server as well as deployed as an EAR/WAR to any certified J2EE application server.
